Chapter 1009 - 6

Chapter 1009: Chapter 6

Saying this while crying uncontrollably.

Le Zhengsheng listened, feeling waves of heartache.

His hands hung and clenched tighter, "Honey, I’m sorry..."

"Don’t call me that anymore!"

Gu Xiaoning covered her mouth, tears streaming down.

"We’ve divorced... Asheng, I’m sorry to you. No matter how you treat me, I can’t complain..."

"No..." Le Zhengsheng shook his head, "You didn’t..."

Gu Xiaoning interrupted him, "Don’t talk, listen to me! I shouldn’t have started this from the beginning, Asheng... Liking someone isn’t like this, really, it’s not like this!"

She was too agitated, grabbed her bag and turned to run outside.

"Ningning!"

Le Zhengsheng wanted to chase after her, but Ling Yu blocked him.

"Mr. Le Zheng." Ling Yu frowned, "Looking at you, you need to seriously think about your own issues! Her health isn’t good, and she’s so emotional now, you better not provoke her!"

"You damn..." Le Zhengsheng’s eyes flared with anger, "You’re not in any position to lecture me!"

Ling Yu smiled faintly, "I’m not lecturing you... You don’t need any lectures. Are you unaware of your own issues?"

After speaking, he released Le Zhengsheng and went to chase Gu Xiaoning.

...

In the parking lot, Gu Xiaoning sat in the car.

Ling Yu silently handed her a tissue.

"Thank you."

Ling Yu saw she had calmed a bit and asked, "You two..."

Gu Xiaoning held the tissue and smiled, "Yes, I pursued him... Actually, Young Master Le Zheng is quite proud, with high standards, how could he actively like anyone? Ah, there was one time before..."

Wanwan, she really is different from ordinary girls...

Ling Yu was incredulous, with her shy appearance, could she actively pursue a man?

"Haha."

Gu Xiaoning chuckled and sniffed.

"Incredible, right? Thinking back, I probably took advantage when he was vulnerable... At that time, his health was poor, the girl he liked for years had been married, and I stuck to him like glue... He was probably reluctant and half-willing..."

"No."

Ling Yu frowned and decisively refuted.

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning was surprised and didn’t understand, "No what?"

"I say he..." Ling Yu said seriously, "He wasn’t reluctant, at that time, he must have truly liked you... Just as you said, with his life at risk and not long to live, meeting a lively girl like you, his heart couldn’t resist."

Gu Xiaoning was silent; is it so? Really?

——

Guan Chao.

Yu Sangwan and the housekeeper closed all the doors and windows.

Vaguely, she heard someone under the porch...

What is this sound?

She wondered, opened the door, looked around, and saw Le Zhengsheng sitting against the wall, tightly covering his eyes with his palm.

Yu Sangwan’s heart skipped a beat; she hurried over, "Asheng, what’s wrong?"

"Wanwan."

Le Zhengsheng looked up, forced a smile. Early morning.

Gu Xiaoning, sleepy, received a call from Le Zhengsheng.

"Hello."

She squinted her eyes, not even looking at the screen, "Who is it?"

On the other end, Le Zhengsheng was silent for a moment, "Ningning, it’s me... Asheng."

"Hmm... Hmm?"

Gu Xiaoning became alert, sat up in bed; Asheng?

"Ningning."

Le Zhengsheng’s voice was thin and cold, typical of early morning.

"I had planned to wait until you calmed down to talk to you... But I have to leave now. So, there are things I must tell you now."

However, Yu Sangwan saw only his tear-stained face. "Are you crying?"

"Yes."

Le Zhengsheng nodded, "How is it, do I look like an idiot?"

"..." Yu Sangwan was speechless, "What happened?"

"I..." Le Zhengsheng raised his hand, struck his chest.

"Where are you going?" Gu Xiaoning felt her heart race.

Le Zhengsheng smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m going to work... Just this time the work location is quite remote. Ningning, I already found out... what happened two years ago."

"..."

"I’m such an idiot! I misunderstood my wife, didn’t believe her... insulted her, bullied her, spoke harshly to her. Wanwan, I’m in so much pain, why is it so painful!"

Implied within the words, Yu Sangwan listened, shocked, "So... Ningning didn’t wrong you, right?"

"I’m such a fool!"

Le Zhengsheng self-reproachfully knocked his head.

"You reminded me at that time... but I didn’t listen! Wanwan, I’m unforgivable, right?"

Yu Sangwan sighed, "Whether you’re unforgivable isn’t up to me... The person you wronged is Gu Xiaoning."

"..." Le Zhengsheng was stunned, his gaze dimmed, "It’s over, she won’t forgive me!"

Yu Sangwan frowned, pulling Le Zhengsheng up.

"Wanwan?" Le Zhengsheng was taken aback.

Yu Sangwan, with anger, "Why are you crying here? This is so unlike you! I ask you, if Gu Xiaoning doesn’t forgive you, are you not going to do anything? Just let her go, is that right?"

"No!" Le Zhengsheng, eyes red, countered, "I never thought that way!"

"Then that’s it!" Yu Sangwan roared, "What you need to think now is how to be good to Gu Xiaoning. As for whether she’ll forgive you... do you really care?"

Le Zhengsheng was stunned; Yu Sangwan’s words... were like a wake-up call.

"Asheng." Yu Sangwan patted his shoulder, "Ningning really has it tough, be nicer to her... Even as an outsider, I feel so sorry for her."

"Mm."

Footsteps approached, Lu Jinxuan with one hand in his trouser pocket, "What’s going on here?"

"You’ve returned? So late." Yu Sangwan wiped her tears.

She then recalled, "Oh, Asheng... Why are you crying outside my house wall so late?"

"Crying?"

Lu Jinxuan curled his lips, full of mockery, "Impressive! Crying now."

Le Zhengsheng awkwardly scratched his head.

"Come with me." Lu Jinxuan lifted his chin, explaining to his wife, "I told him to come; we have things to discuss."

——

In the study.

After hearing Lu Jinxuan’s words, Le Zhengsheng was a bit dazed.

Lu Jinxuan chuckled lightly, "What’s wrong? Unwilling to go?"

"Not..."

Le Zhengsheng hesitated, "But do I really have to go so urgently? Only a few hours until tomorrow morning..."

"What’s wrong with that?"

Lu Jinxuan tutted, "Director Le Zheng, your work condition has been terrible lately! You need to differentiate between work and personal feelings. Who hasn’t had youthful passions? Even when I was infatuated with Taotao, I wasn’t like you now!"

"Our situations are different!"

Le Zhengsheng stiffened.

"Hmm?" Lu Jinxuan glared, "So, are you now disobeying orders?"

"I wouldn’t dare."

Le Zhengsheng calmed down, "I understand... I’ll leave tomorrow morning."
